Chapter 199 The prince goes out
Chapter 199: The Prince takes action
Besides, Ou Sheng rushed to Chang'an and came to Zheng Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu and the others drinking tea leisurely. Ou Sheng couldn't help but wonder: "Bo Wu, why are you resting? Don't make perfume?"
After Qiandi burned Chen Wanrong, considering the influence of perfume, Zheng Qing moved the perfume production to Zheng Mansion during Chen Wanrong's expedition, and was not affected by the transformation of Qiandi into ruins. On the contrary, under Zheng Qing's careful arrangement, she received the support of Princess Taiping, Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen's flowers, and the scale of the perfume became larger and larger.
Ou Sheng has been to Chang'an several times and knows that Wu and the others have always been very busy, and they have never had any trouble sitting and drinking tea and chatting like today. How could it be surprising?
Uncle Wu smiled and pointed to the empty seat beside him, "Shopkeeper Ou, you are here just in time! Come, sit down, let's chat while having tea. Tell me how you have been doing during this period?"
Ou Sheng came to work hard and waved his hand, "Uncle Wu, I'll come to meet my boss. When I meet my boss, I'll chat with you and have tea."
"You want to see the boss? You can't see him." Wu Bo said, "The boss summoned the prince. He hasn't come back these days, and he said he's going to handle major matters. Alas, since the boss returned from the war, he has not been idle for a day. He is so busy that he has never finished a lot of things. There is another thing. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. It's really right!"
Looking back on Chen Wanrong's days in chemical engineering, he was really leisurely. He asked someone to brag about it when he had nothing to do and talked about it. He was not as busy as he is now. Uncle Wu couldn't help but sigh a lot.
Ou Sheng thought that since he was summoned by the prince, he was worried in vain. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He sat down to have tea with Uncle Wu and smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, why are you idle?"
"Shopkeeper Ou, you don't know this!" Wu Uncle Wu said leisurely while drinking tea: "Not only has the boss summoned the prince, but even the young lady summoned the emperor into the palace. He said that something big happened these days, and they were not safe to stay at home. The emperor's favor is really unspeakable, and he even considered this. When the young lady went there, she felt sorry for us and took our leave. Uncle Wu, I was so idle that I had nothing to do, so I had to eat tea."
Ou Sheng was very curious and asked, "Is there a big deal? Does Uncle Wu know what big deal?"
Uncle Wu spread his hands and said, "How can I know! We little people should not inquire about the major events in the court! Now it is not as good as before. In the past, there was something in the palace, but outside had known it. Since the emperor rectified the palace, those eyes and ears have been removed, and the palace is in a mess, and we don't know it."
This matter is still related to Chen Wanrong. It was Chen Wanrong that the Ruizong sect Duan Hui made a big move and cleared the eyes and ears of the ministers, Princess Taiping and Li Longji. The palace is now tight and it is rare for news to leak.
Anyway, I felt relieved, so Ou Sheng accompanied Uncle Wu to have tea and chat until dark. Uncle Wu was very enthusiastic and kept Ou Sheng until late at night before giving up.
The next day, Ou Sheng thought that since he had come to Chang'an, it would be better to learn about the soap. He went to Gaojia Store to learn about the situation from Gaoqingtai, and then went to Majia Store.
Ma Zhizhong was extremely enthusiastic and kept him to drink. In the past, when Ou Sheng came to understand the situation, Ma Zhizhong would invite him to drink. This was just a routine, and Ou Sheng did not refuse. The two went to a restaurant, ordered wine and food, and chatted while eating. It was not until the afternoon that they had a good meal and had enough food.
I also learned about the situation of the soap. I had no problem and it was time to go back to Ning County. Ou Sheng left Ma Zhizhong, returned to Zheng Mansion, said goodbye to Wu Bo and the others, rode his horse back to Ning County.
After leaving Guanghua Gate to the north, Ou Sheng thought that Chen Wanrong summoned the prince to deal with a big matter, and there would definitely be no accident. He was worried for nothing, and he was relieved. After a while, he arrived at the shore of the Wei River. Ou Sheng suddenly thought, "How could the boss write a blood letter? If something really happened and I didn't deliver the news, I would regret it for the rest of my life!"
Then he thought again, "Even if something happens, with the protection of the guards, what can happen? I'm worried too much!"
Sometimes I thought that if something happened, if the news was not delivered, the consequences would be unimaginable. Then I comforted myself again, which was impossible, so I couldn't help but hesitate and stopped after pulling the horse's reins.
After a while of thought, Ou Sheng finally made a decision, "No matter what, you have to meet the boss. Even if you can't meet the boss, you have to meet the second boss and get a clear message!"
With a certain idea, Ou Sheng slapped his horse, entered Chang'an from Guanghua Gate, and went straight to the East Palace. When he arrived at the East Palace, he stopped the guards: "Who are you? This is the East Palace, don't go in a mess if you have nothing to do."
Ou Sheng knew the importance: "Dear Jun Gong, I am Ou Sheng, General Chen Wanrong and General Chen. If you have any questions, come to your boss and ask Jun Gong to do some convenience and report it to me."
These soldiers were newly replaced. Those soldiers who knew that Chen Wanrong was caught were still under house arrest. If those soldiers who knew the news would definitely tell Ou Sheng that he would not see Chen Wanrong. The soldiers were not aware of the situation and waved their hands and said, "General Chen is not here."
"Not here?" Ou Shengda was surprised: "Didn't he say that he had summoned the prince to the East Palace?"
"We didn't see anything." The soldier replied very directly.
Ou Sheng took the horse and walked a few steps, then stopped and said, "Mr. Jun, I want to meet the second boss Chen Zairong. I wonder if I can report it?"
"Not here!" The soldier's answer disappointed Ou Sheng.
A soldier added: "There are major events these days, and all the adults are busy. Lord Chen has to go in and out several times a day. It was a coincidence that you have only been out for a while. See you next time."
"It's really a coincidence!" Ou Shengda regretted it. If he had known this, he wouldn't have gone to drink with Ma Zhizhong. However, he didn't think of this at that time, and regretting it was useless.
After patting his forehead, Ou Sheng thought he could meet Chen Laoshi and Zheng Jianqiu and his wife to get a clear letter. However, they were in the palace and the guards were even stricter. Where could they see it, so they should go back.
Turning around, before he got on the horse, he saw a man galloping on a horse. It was none other than Wang Shaohua. Wang Shaohua and Chen Wanrong had an extraordinary friendship. His life was saved by Chen Wanrong. He should know about Chen Wanrong. Ou Sheng hurriedly met him and saluted: "Ou Sheng has seen General Wang!"
Wang Shaohua held back his horse, looked at it and recognized it, and smiled and said, "It turns out to be the shopkeeper Ou, long time no see! Shopkeeper Ou, why are you here?"
"I'm here to meet my boss." Ou Sheng told the truth.
Wang Shaohua raised his eyebrows and said, "Shopkeeper Ou, you are not the time to come, Brother Chen has gone to do the business. Do you have anything to do? If possible, I will convey it to you."
Chen Wanrong's arrest must be kept confidential and Ou Sheng must not be informed.
Wang Shaohua is not an outsider, Ou Sheng was very relieved. He looked around and lowered his voice: "It's nothing big, but I received a blood letter yesterday for no reason, which was written by the boss. I can't figure out the truth, so I asked the boss to understand."
"Blood Book? Brother Chen's Blood Book?" Wang Shaohua almost rolled down from the saddle, rushed over in a hurry, grabbed Ou Sheng's collar, almost lifting Ou Sheng up, and asked anxiously: "Where? Take it out quickly! Quick!"
"Mr. Wang, please be gentle!" Ou Sheng couldn't bear the pain and couldn't help begging for mercy.
Wang Shaohua then realized and hurriedly put him down: "Hurry up, show me."
Ou Sheng was a smart man, knowing that something was different. Without saying a word, he took out the blood letter from his arms. Wang Shaohua snatched it and opened it. Tears in his eyes suddenly burst out: "Brother Chen, you are saved! Manager Ou, don't tell anyone about this! Come on, come with me to see the prince!" Regardless of Ou Sheng's reaction, he grabbed his arm and dragged it away.
The soldier wanted to stop him, but Wang Shaohua said with a stern face: "Get out of the way! I will take care of everything!" Fei also dragged Ou Sheng into the East Palace like a slightest.
Ou Sheng was confused, so he stumbling in and couldn't help but be surprised: "General Wang, what are you doing?" He knew that Wang Shaohua was a calm person, and he really didn't expect that he was so anxious. It would be impossible not to be surprised.
Wang Shaohua did not answer, but rushed to the oncoming Gao Lishi and said, "Eunuch Gao, is the prince here? I have something big to see the prince! I must see him immediately!"
"Mr. Wang, you are good, can you be late? The prince just rested. Since the accident, the prince was anxious and had not had a sleep in peace for a few days. He finally took a break." Gao Lishi said carefully.
Without saying a word, Wang Shaohua stuffed the blood book in his hand into Gao Lishi's hand and said, "Eunuch Gao, please read it yourself."
Gao Lishi opened it and was shocked: "Blood Book? It looks a bit like General Chen's word!"
"That's right, it's Brother Chen's!" Wang Shaohua nodded with certainty: "Brother Chen's calligraphy is a masterpiece, and it's unforgettable to see it."
Such a bad word, who would never forget anyone, Gao Lishi hurriedly said, "Sir Wang, come with me quickly." Fei also went there. Wang Shaohua dragged Ou Sheng and followed him.
When he arrived at Li Longji's house where he handled official business, Gao Lishi pushed open the door and Wang Shaohua stepped in. He saw Li Longji sleeping soundly leaning on the chair, wearing a fur coat.
Before Gao Lishi woke up Li Longji, Wang Shaohua raised his throat and said, "Crown Prince, I have something important to report."
"What's the matter?" Li Longji woke up in shock, rubbed his eyes, with a lot of blood in his eyes, and looked at Wang Shaohua.
Gao Lishi hurriedly handed the blood letter: "Prince, this is Lord Chen's blood letter!"
"Blood Book?" Li Longji felt a little surprised. He took it and couldn't help but stand up suddenly: "Where did it come from?"
Wang Shaohua pointed at Ou Sheng and said, "The prince, it was sent by him. The shopkeeper Ou is the shopkeeper who General Chen is the soap in Ning County. He just delivered it to the door and ran into him."
"Say!" Li Longji looked at Ou Sheng and said only one word.
A straightforward word makes people understand better than anything else. Ou Sheng has seen that this matter must be of great importance. He briefly sorted out his thoughts: "Caomin walked on the streets of Ning County yesterday and jumped out to send a blood letter to Caomin. This prisoner was from Ning County. A few years ago, he beaten and destroyed people because he fought with his neighbors for the land area and was kept in prison. Caomin used to be the head of Ning County, so he recognized it. This prisoner had to be more than a year before he could come out, and the emperor was amnesty for the world, so he released it.
"Caomin is quite familiar with this prisoner. In addition to being a little irritable, he is not a good person. Caomin has noticed that he has followed a few families around him. Maybe he has something inconvenient to say, so he used this method. Caomin later took people to Xigou Village and found that there were many people in the martial arts world there."
"Xigou Village!" After hearing this, Li Longji frowned and thought for a while, and had to exclaim: "Mei Xuancheng had a good intention and actually took the person to Ning County. We searched Chang'an and even checked Luoyang, but we didn't expect that he would go to Ning County and Chen Wanrong's hometown. Awesome, amazing!"
When Ou Sheng heard this, his eyes widened: "Crown Prince, are you saying that the boss has kidnapped the bad guy?"
Li Longji nodded and said, "Yes! He went to Yuzhen Temple to attend the banquet, but he didn't bring many guards. He was caught by Mei Xuancheng's trick and was kidnapped. We checked it for several days, but there was no news. The news you brought is too important! Ou Sheng, you should rest first and don't go anywhere."
"Shopkeeper Ou, please!" Gao Lishi took Ou Sheng down.
While walking, Ou Sheng complained and slapped in the face: "I'm so stupid. If nothing big happens, will the boss write a blood book? I'm so stupid, so stupid!"
You can't blame him, this matter is too bizarre. If Li Longji and the others hadn't understood the causes and consequences, they might not have thought of this bloody letter at first. After many twists and turns, he could have thought of a correct letter and found out the truth. It would have been great.
"Crown Prince!" Wang Shaohua was about to remind Li Longji, but Li Longji sat down and smiled, "Mei Xuancheng has such a strict mind. Chen Wanrong can actually send the blood letter out. It's amazing! Wang Shaohua, do you think Chen Wanrong will have a big problem? Chen Wanrong and Mei Xuancheng are at a disadvantage or have the upper hand? I am really looking forward to it!"
As a wise and extraordinary person, when encountering such a thing, you will always be happy to see the hunter and want to see it.
Wang Shaohua would rather believe that pies would fall from the sky than believe that Li Longji would say such words at this time. He was stunned: "Crown Prince, what are you saying? Brother Chen is being captured, you are so anxious. Now, you are not in a hurry."
"That's right! I was anxious at that time because I didn't know his whereabouts. Now, I know and look forward to the result of their fight." Li Longji smiled very happily: "Okay! Ask them all back and prepare for rescue!"
Wang Shaohua knew that Li Longji was just a word of emotion and a wish, but because of his very shallow friendship with Chen Wanrong, he was still shocked and was afraid that Li Longji would not move. After hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the order was passed, Ge Shuhan and the others rushed to the East Palace. When they all came back, Li Longji was already dressed in an orderly manner and said, "Call you back because there is already news about Chen Wanrong!"
Chen Zairong was most concerned about his brother's safety. When he heard this, he could not help it: "Crown Prince, where is my brother?"
"Xigou Village!" Li Longji said with a bloody letter: "He wrote it himself."
Li Zairong didn't care whether he was polite or not. He grabbed it and looked at it. After looking at it, he saw that the three words "Xigou Village" were written in blood on the cloth piece. There was no signature. Only those who knew the character Chen Wanrong could tell it.
"Brother, you are in Xigou Village!" Chen Zairong couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes: "Mei Xuancheng, you have such a cunning mind. You actually hid in Xigou Village!"
Mei Xuancheng's move was really amazing and she had hidden it from everyone. Even a smart person as smart as Li Longji did not expect that after Mei Xuancheng kidnapped Chen Wanrong, he would dare to go back to Chen Wanrong's hometown to hide. To be precise, he didn't even move his thoughts.
"Transfer a thousand artillery soldiers and hurry to Xigou Village immediately! Chen Zairong, you are familiar with the road, come and lead the way!" Li Longji ordered.
Chen Zairong took the order with ease. Gao Lishi reminded him: "Prince, it's all done to General Geshu and others, and you don't need to work hard!"
If Li Longji would agree with this statement before this in-depth talk with Chen Wanrong, it would be different now. He knew the importance of Chen Wanrong and decided to take action in person: "Don't say it, I'll go in person, so I'll be relieved!"
Gao Lishi followed him for a long time and knew his temperament well. He said this because he had made a decision and was irreversible, so he had to stop talking. Under the leadership of Li Longji, everyone rushed to the Longwu Military Academy, ordered a thousand artillery soldiers, set off immediately, rushed to Ning County, and started the rescue operation.
The next morning, Mei Xuancheng woke up from a sleep. The first thing he did was to rush into the house to check if there were any missing ingredients. When he saw that there were a lot less, he grabbed Chen Wanrong's collar and asked, "Why are these things missing? Have you done something secretly?"
"Take your dog's paws away!" Chen Wanrong shouted angrily: "You don't have eyes? Look at the ground. If I don't try this, can I know the problem? You can't understand it, and it's useless to tell you."
Mei Xuancheng saw that there were a lot of raw materials on the ground and trampled Chen Wanrong. No one could tell how many raw materials were and how much was dust. He asked, "What problem did you find?"
"A bullshit question! If you didn't want to capture you alive, you would be dead!" Chen Wanrong cursed in his heart and said coldly: "Where are any problems? You will know later. If you are rude to me again, you will do it yourself. If you keep a secret for a day, you will definitely be embarrassing!"
Mei Xuancheng knew Chen Wanrong's temperament well and was never afraid of threats. He could only let go and warned: "If you dare to play tricks, you will feel better."
"I'm just playing tricks, can you find out again?" Chen Wanrong said sarcastically in his heart.
For breakfast, Chen Wanrong still had a rough meal. This time, Wu Xiaomin experienced what happened last night. I don’t know if Chen Wanrong was really angry or fake angry. He put his job on the table and flew away like a flying person, which made the church members laugh.
After breakfast, Chen Wanrong fully utilized his authority and began to torture the church again.
Under Chen Wanrong's command, the gunpowder made is sometimes good and sometimes bad. When it is good, it is very powerful. It is much worse than the military weapon supervisor, but it also makes a lot of progress. When it is bad, it takes big steps and retreats.
As long as the same raw materials are mixed unevenly and the degree of rigor during the test is different, the effects will be greatly different. It is too easy to make the power good and bad.
Mei Xuancheng didn't understand these technical details. She was confused by Chen Wanrong, so she frowned and said, "What's going on? Why is it good at a time and bad at a time!"
"Ask you those pig-like subordinates!" Chen Wanrong still put the blame on the church members.
"Chen Wanrong, don't push everything on us! Say, are you using your hands and feet?" Mei Xuancheng also began to doubt.
Chapter completed!
